These scouts returned to camp. The third day passed and the Indians had failed to keep their word. They sent a Hug of truce , with the in formation that the chiafs had reconsid ered the matter and had decided to abandon for the present their inten tion of molesting the whites. The military discipline of the little handful of whites during * these trying days , was under the following otlicers : William G. Bowman , captain ; William E. Lee , first lieutenant ; John A Kountza , second lieutenant. A year previous , to this incident nnd before the Fremont colony was founded thcso Indians hud TEUUOUIZED TUB SETTLEIIS at Pontonelle , which was then id Dodge county and the county seat. They had on moro than one occasion gone up the Elkhorn river to the vicinity of Fonta- nolle and given the colony a little scare. Tt was iu the latter part of June , 1855 , that the first real conflict between the Pawnees and the Dodge county settlers took placo. On a Saturday evening while Mr. Porter nnd wife and George Domarce were going homo from whore they had been breaking prairie on Boll creek ( now in Washington county ) they were overtaken by a heavy rain storm which made it hard traveling and which had swollen the little streams. They decided to go into camp for the night. Sunday morning they heard re ports of guns at a little lake not for off and supposed it was some members of the Fontenollo colony down there shooting Jlsh , which was a very common sport. They went down to see thorn and to their amazement found a largo number of Indians there , One ol the Indians , a dare-dovil sort of a follow , rode up to Domorce and toolc his hut , Domoroo started ( or his wagon with the remark that ho would got his gun and shoot that Indian. In a few minutes another Indian rode has tily up and levelling' his musket , crack wont the old Hint-lock and the bullet pierced Demoree in the hood. Porter , who was just beyond him , at that mo ment turned to survey the situation and just as ho did so the same bullet which had crushed through Domoreo'a brain also penetrated Porter's breast , and both men fell dead from the same fatal bullot. Mrs. Porter was banding over the form of her dying husband when another Indian roue up and motioned her away. As she loft she saw the Indians BCALI'INa DKSIOUKE but left her husband untouched. She divested herself ot nil tbo clothing she could spare and sped to the Tontonrlllo cump with nil the spaed she could com mand , frenzied with the bloody scone she had just been an eye witness to and her brain on fire. When she arrived at the camp and told her story the ex citement ran high. There was a general scramble of the women and children for place of safety , while the men hastened for their guns and other weapons , some of them oven arming themselves with pitch forks. The Indians had followed close after Mrs. Porter , and when they arrived they Baw the Fontonollors hurrying to and fro with guns in band , and con cluded not to remain and give thorn battle. The rod skins boat a retreat and were followed a short distance by a small company of whites. They es caped through , the brush and across the river. After this the settlers went out and brought in the dead bodies of Porter tor and Domoroo. As they came into the settlement bearing their-doad com rades , who bad boon so wantonly slain , there was a gtnuigo mingling of fear , 49 pieces St inch Half Wool Cashmeres and Barges only I Oo per yard. 50 pieces 3d Inch All Wool llclgo , brownnndnray mixtures , 38o i * ynril.

August faSpecial [ to THE BISK. ] Three miles south of Fremont near the summit of the pre cipitous bluffs which akirt the Platte river , nro found the only remaining traces of the warlike Indian tribes which held possession of this section of country in early days. These traces are pits which were once a great deal deeper than now and which were u&cd by the Pawnee Indians as caches for storing tholr corn. They recall many things of interest which , transpired in the stirring days of the frontier , about the time when the first white men came in from tljo east and determined to es tablish a homo in this wilderness. For upwards of twelve years the homo of the grout.Pawneo nation was hero a tribe ol Indians reputed to have been thoMOST MOST WAIILIKB OF TUB PLAINS , who wore so valiant in vror that they did not hesituto to give battle on a fair flold where the numbers of warriors were three to ono against them. They came hero about the year 1848. Prior to that time they had their headquarters and rendezvous at two places ono at the mouth of the Cedar river , near where the town of Fullerton now is , nnd tlio other on the south banks of the Pltitto , at Ptvwnco Bluffs , about opposlto Silver Crook. Owing to their numbers and their skill in battle they were terrors to any ether single tribo. But la 1848 thora was an alllanco of the Brulo Sioux , Arnpahoo and Ohoyonncs , who succeeded in routing thorn and driving thorn from their strongholds. They formed a treaty with tlio Omahns , who agreed to permit them to enjoy certain privileges in the eastern part of Nebraska territory , south of the Platto. the restrictions not being of a very radical nature , ainco the Omahas could not bo exacting with this powerful tribo. There were what were known as the Upper and Lower villages the former about three miles directly south of Fremont mont , on a commanding height of the Platte river bluffs , and the latter a few miles down the river , about where the postofllco of Edtlua , Saunders county , noiv is , nonrly opposite the town of Val- loy. The two villages each contained aljout the feiuno number of in habitants , the joint population numbering about eight thousand souls. The Tillages wore not laid out with reference to any systematic plan , but were each made up of a huphazzara group of okons ( Indian for house ) . Many of those oicons were thirty foot in diameter and accommodated a number ef families who lived in common. They wore constructed with a high center polo to which were fastened at tbo top , longer poles , which came to the ground at a distance of several foot from its base. Those were first covered with brush and afterwards with dirt sod , making1 them comfortable houses , so far as protection from the elements was concerned. There wore four bands of the tribe , namely : The Chowols , Kitkahs. Skeo- deos , and Potah-haii-etats. Each one of these bands had a chief who was au thority in most matters governing the immediate interests of the members of his band , but nnsworablo on questions of greater interest to the chief of the whole tribo. Wnon the first permanent settlers came hero TIIK HKAD CI1IKF WAS COHUX. Ho was a romarkubly fine specimen of the Pawnee , typo. Ho was straight as nn arrow , wUh well developed physique - iquo piercing eyes nnd un intelligent cast of countenance. The oldest settlers who still ILvo hero , speak , of him. in terms of the highest admiration. Ho could talk a little English and would trade moro or loss with the settlers. About 18GO Corux was succeeded as chief by Petah- la-shnrir , who was also ono of the finest specimens of his tribo. Petah-la- Sliarar maintained his supremacy until tlio Indians were removed to their res ervation at Genoa by the government. The settlers and the Indians were on reasonably friendly terras from the start , though these relations were of ton somewhat strainsd. The Indians real ized that they bad the advantage of overwhelming numbers , and when oc casion presented they were liable to manifest an insolence begotten and em boldened by that knowledge. On the other hand , the settlers soon learned enough of the peculiar characteristics of the rodsKina to know that even though they were in the minority , if they never tlinchod in. any quarrel , but demanded their rights with that air of bravado which they soon learned to feign , they were safe from depredations and. intrusions. Potty bickerings wore common , but never led to serious re sults. The first general "scare" the little Fremont colony experienced was in October 1850. The Indians had begun to fool that they were the rightful own ers of the lands occupied by the colony that they were monarchs of all they surveyed and so , regarding the white now-comors ns intruders , on the Oth of October they dispatched u committee to notify the settlers TO AiJAxnoNTrrEiu XKAV-FOUND nojius and that if they were not gone in three days they would attack thorn. This demonstration of hostilities sent a thrill through tlio little handful of whites , who then composed the advance guard of civilization. They know that the Indians were in earnest but they ro- solvcd to moot thorn in this crisis with the same spirit ot defiance which they had shown their rod neighbors from the beginning. A council was immedi ately hold and a course of action was promptly decided upon. It was de termined to "hold the fort. " J. G. Smith was Immediately dispatched to Omath to intorviowGovornor Izurd nnd procure assistance. The governor gave him a quantity of nmunition and two boxes of army mus kets. Ho also provided him with fourteen men to reinforce these on the ground ( eight in number ; , so that the total enumeration of this little army was but twenty-two men. Smith rode to Omaha in the night , nnd by evening of the next day after the col ony received notice to leave everything was in readiness for the attack. A little fort had been speedily improvised and pickets placed on duty at night , who trod their boats on the prairies in the silent watches of the night with con fessed trepidation of spirit. They marched and counter-marched and built bonfires , andby this mean * struck terror to the hearts of the enemy. While u . t * . . soirow aud vengeance on the part of the little company" ' of-whites. A coun cil was at once hold to consider the danger with which the colo'ny was sur rounded and threatened. Two men wore immediately dispatched to Omaha to consult Governor IzariL The gov ernor and General Thuyer hurried , around and collected a little company of thirty men , with Captain Moore and Lieutenant Heaves. By the time the company arrived at Fonetcnello a company of about the same size was mustered by the settlers , so that there was. u total force of about sixty men. The little village soon took on the ap pearance of a military camp. There was the daily mustering and drill of the companies twice a day. This continued , all the rest of the summer , or until the disbanding of the army in the fall. It was thought best net to avenge the death of the two comrades who had fallpn , as that experiment would bo perilous with TII15 OVTIIlPOWEIUNa FORCES the Indians could readily muster , so the settlers contented themselves with merely protecting the little colony. There were ono or two threatened at tacks , but the preparations which had been made guaranteed safety to the set tlement. OONNUKIAMT1ES.

[ Special to THE BEE. ] Perhap * there is no tirno in a summer's day moro delightful than when the cool , gray dawn is just begin ning to give way to the warmth of a rising sun , with just a lingering hint of early coldness to keep off languor under the splendid influence of a July morn ing. Some such thoughts came tn me ns. nt the "peep of day , " I loft Pittsburg on the Pennsylvania railroad , in com pany with a party of six on route to Atlantic City. Our first stop was at Johnstown , where wo were mot by a young friend who had provided a con veyance to take us over the city and along the vnlloy as far as our time and inclination would permit. Long before you roach Johnstown the effects of "tho late disaster" can bo seen , railroad iron twisted out of shape , broken cars , parts of houses , together with trees , roots upturned , are thrown in masses the whole mixed with mud to the depth ot several foot , in many places , moot the eye at every turn. Ono never could be prepared for the pitiful sights in and around many of the desolate homes , and you can have no appreciation of the great distress and horror of the surroundings. I first entered the tent whore the Women's Holiof committee were stationed , dealing out the regu lation amount to the poor , homeless victims , who stand in line , and with huugry glances watoh their chance to push forward and grasp the portion intended for thorn. I was invited in- sldo and watched with interest every detail , admired the systematic ) manago- rocnt on the part of the laches , and was touched to observe the fooling shown towards the poor half crazed people. talked with many of them ns they came by , and listened to tales of woo , many of which would furnish abundant ma terials upon which to base a thrilling story , about which volumes could bo written and then many things untold. Then I wont into a building which had boon a store but is now a hospital , and found twenty-flvo or thirty injured ones who were being cared for by the Catho- lie sisters. Two of them had just passed into the beyond , attended by the sisters to the lost , with a skill and quietness , that must over bo the envy of the world. I called upon several of , the leading physicians , ana saw the manner in which they dealt out doses "without money and without price" in nearly all cases. The applicants were treated with great consideration. The female physicians of Chicago , about whom BO much has boon aald cannot receive too much praise. They are noble , grand women. In spite of their medical education , and are doing a glorious work , without a hope of praise or thought of remunera tion.

Bo sure you see those bar- ttfllaa nt Barr's Hlacfe Uoods Department ! a part of which was destroyed by the deluge , and thoru witnessed a sight which touched my huart. Aged men. with tear-utainou faces and clasped bauds , in trembling voices prayed that "thoy might soon join the dear ones gone before , " and mothers asked that they might bo helped to care for the little ones left to thorn , nnd all soumcd so devout that if there was lurking in the mind of anyone present a doubt of the faith of many people in the "oili- caoy of prayer , " there was nothing in the scona to substantiate their theory. From this I was driven to the local ity of the Cononmugh yards , just above the city , where the former tracks ol the Pennsylvania road can bo seen , with the ties standing on end in the middle of. th < > river and on the hillside ; then to the cump , and wulkod around among the men who were busily engaged clear ing away the debris. There are about fifteen hundred at work now , and it is very interesting to watch the different kinds of steam shovels and machines thaturo used. The state authoritiessoem to bo doing all they can to help not only those in distress , but those desirous of helping themselves. And that the relief fund is being distributed with comparative justice , I firmly believe , as every act of the committee seems to bo given the utmost publicity. The little cottages that are now being built by Chicago citizens are furnished to each family for 8100 , nnd the ladies' relief committee - too of Pittsburg supply the necessaries to furnish the housannd roudor it homo- liko. They have about sixty B0' ing machines running all the time prepar ing bed linen and clothing for those in need , and furnishing employment to many women who are glad to earn some thing. Mits. WIN.
